Struggling to get SABnzbd configured
Posted by Plex
Hi there I'm trying to set up a media module with usenet, but having troubles making sparkbox automatically connect SABnzbd to radarr and sonarr. Here's what I did: 1. Started with a new install of sparkbox. 2. Installed the media module, and filled in my usenet details. 3. Waited for the install to finish then check radarr and sonarr - only qbitorrent is configured. The doc says there's some advanced settings in the app section that I can use to configure to SABnzbd, but I couldn't find it. I did try the following: 1. restarting the media module - nothing changed. 2. Running sudo sparkbox arr-bootstrap to see if it would reconnect SABnzbd. When I do this and watch the output, I get the following errors regarding SABnzbd: [arr-bootstrap] WARN: sonarr: SABnzbd registered returned: [ { "isWarning": false, "detailedDescription": "The category you entered doesn\u0027t exist in SABnzbd. Create it in SABnzbd first.", "infoLink": "http://localhost:8081/config/categories [arr-bootstrap] WARN: radarr: SABnzbd registered returned: [ { "isWarning": false, "detailedDescription": "The category you entered doesn\u0027t exist in SABnzbd. Create it in SABnzbd first.", "infoLink": "http://localhost:8081/config/categories This is weird as it seems sparkbox already configured the categories in SABnzbd as shown below: If it helps, I'm running sparkbox on debian bookworm. Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks — that warning is useful. We already know restarting the Media Center and re-running the auto-wiring did not resolve it, so please do not repeat either. Could you reply with your installed SparkBox version and the exact names of the categories shown in SABnzbd (no server, login, or API details)? That will let us verify whether this matches the current published build.

I'm currently running v1.6.660. The exact category names are shown in the attached photo, unless you mean something else? Also, I should've mentioned this in my original post, but the Folder/Path were originally blank when I installed it the first time. I filled them in later, thinking it might fix the warning about the categories.

Thanks — the screenshot confirms it. In v1.6.660, SparkBox registers the categories as sonarr and radarr, while yours are tv and movies; that is why the registration is rejected. I’ve added this to the existing bug record. As a safe workaround, add sonarr and radarr as new categories on that SABnzbd page, leaving the current categories unchanged; save both rows, then run sudo sparkbox arr-bootstrap once. Please confirm whether both clients then appear.
